This book presents a feminist mapping of the articulation and
suppression of female desire in Hindi films, which comprise one of
modern India's most popular cultural narratives. It explores the
lineament of evil and the corresponding closure of chastisement or
domesticity that appear as necessary conditions for the
representation of subversive female desire. The term 'bad' is used
heuristically, and not as a moral or essential category, to examine
some of the iconic disruptive women of Hindi cinema and to uncover
the nexus between patriarchy and other hierarchies, such as class,
caste and religion in these representations. The twenty-one essays
examine the politics of female desire/s from the 1930s to the
present day - both through in-depth analyses of single films and by
tracing the typologies in multiple films. The essays are divided
into five sections indicating the various gendered desires and
rebellions that patriarchal society seeks to police, silence and
domesticate.
